Explaining Every Fallout: New Vegas Unique Weapon
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 มิ.ย. 2024
- Fallout New Vegas has 79 unique weapons that can be obtained across all the DLCs. These weapons typically have different stats, have unique affects, different models, and a different name. Today, we'll be going over every unique weapon that exists in Fallout: New Vegas and explaining not only how they differ from their standard counterpart, but also where they get their unique name from. Buckle up, folks, it's a long one.

Old glory isn't a flagpole, it's actually the staff of the Congress. Long ago it was an actual weapon used against unruly assembly members, but these days it mostly functions as a talking stick on the rare occasion they actually use it. Also, weapons with randoms women's names like Annabelle and Esther are references to the US military tradition of giving your weapon a woman's name (or in more recent times, a man's if you're gay or a female.) The tradition goes back further than our country's history into obscurity and is most prevalent in the Marines and army
thanks for sharing my friend
I think he meant that originaly this weapon was much weaker and was called a flagpole back when Ulysses was supposed to be a companion in the base game but sadly that idea was cut. However if this idea had made it into the game the Lonesome Road dlc probobly wouldn't exist.
Interesting fact though.
Given how some of those hearings go, they should break out the staff again. Give Bobo the Clown or Butthead Gaetz a thump on the head
@@truedarkness4052 agreed
it is a flagpole, you're þinking of Þe Mace of þe House of Representatives. generally when you have a floor stand version of þe flag of Þe United States it sits on a short flag pole ~6' tall with a golden eagle ontop of þe pole.
That Gun not being in Fallout 4 is a damned shame. It could have been a legendary weapon that does 30% more damage to synths. My number is a bit arbitrary, but it should be a great weapon to have, but not overpowered either.
Foreal doe. I thought the same thing.
That gun was one of my favorites cause it always made me n my friends lol.
Honestly disappointed by the lack of blade runner Easter eggs in fallout 4
They finally have a fallout with androids and they forget That Gun?
Pathetic.
@@DoctorProph3t Sounds like Bethesda.
Fallout 4's weapon selection in general is shameful. Awful toy looking guns and very few that feel any satisfying. There's a reason weapon mods are the most popular mods by a lot.
The holorifle is technically a heavily modified grenade rifle.
That ‘useless’ durability upgrade, when applied at max durability, actually makes it so much more durable it’s actually Unbreakable
The Q-35 also has a detail you didn’t mention. It consumes less ammo per shot than the standard plasma rifle, meaning it’s lower base damage is also offset by its ammo efficiency
Q-35 is always my go-to workhorse rifle. Another thing to mention is the Q-35 also fires much faster projectiles. This, combined with the ammo efficiency, makes it much more friendly to down-the-sight shooting. The faster projectile means you don't have to lead your target like with a normal plas and the ammo efficiency means it's less of a big deal to miss sometimes.
"Oh, Baby!" is a reference to the fact that you're now carrying the best melee weapon in the game.
OH BABY
Greased lightning lmfao
@@themanwithnoname1839 not a melee weapon doofus
I coukd only think about that one kid who got a tripple colat on modern warfare 3
Best 2hander anyway. Chance’s knife with Grunt+Cowboy is higher dps, and if you mod grunt to work on dlc weapons you got bloodnap that is higher than chance. Oh Baby!’s primary advantage is perk economy, as it’s much stronger without those two perks

Even though there is technically a chance for more than one in the Mojave to spawn… I still think the Ranger Sequoia should be considered unique. I only recently found one for the first time in my current play-through
Edit: Just remembered that the Codac R9000 is also technically a unique weapon despite only being a functional camera
Based for timing everything 👍👍👍

@@TheGlaabFather I love Mr Morbius
The big boomer is a reference to Mel Gibsons character Mad Max, as it is carried by Old lady Gibson, and Mad Max carried the sawed off shotgun, and big boomer is a common phrase and mountain in Australia

Also if you do the ncr version of the quest, you can just loot Liberator from Dead Sea's corpse
Or go the easy way by simply killing him anytime during the game.
A Light Shining in Darkness is the reason why I always go high in the gun skills in NV. There’s so many unique and fun ballistic weapons in the game
Agreed. A Light Shining in Darkness is one of the best pistols in the game.
eh. its good but boring. I prefer This Machine because it looks and sounds satisfying while being slightly reminiscent of one of the coolest rifles ever made (M1 Garand) and when it hits you really feel it. well. you don't, but the target sure does.
@@GribbleGob Good choice.
@@GribbleGobSlightly reminiscent? Dawg that’s literally what it is lmao
I have the scripture engraved on A Light Shining In Darkness's slide tattooed on my right arm. It was my first tattoo.
A little extra detail about the engravings on the Survivalists Carbine, the fact that it is chambered in 12.7mm (which is .50cal) and is called a "Checkpoint Carbine" suggests it was used mainly to stop vehicles at border crossings/checkpoints, similar to how .50cal rifles are used in the real world.
Just a nice little detail to explain why it is chambered in such an unusual caliber, I guess :D
To be exact it's chambered in 50 Beowulf not BMG it's closer in shape with a pistol round.
Is that because that round is better for disabling vehicles? Like if somebody tries to drive straight through the blockade?
@@jackpfefferkorn3734 Yes, it's a very large and very heavy bullet, especially compared to the standard 5.56mm used by the Service Rifle of FNV!
It is, quite literally, over twice as big in diameter.
In the real world soldiers will shoot the engine block of moving vehicles to instantly stop them.
@@ye7625 Yes indeed! Otherwise the magazine would be quite something! :D
@@ye7625 True.
Woah I never knew wolf horn ranch used to be Ulysses’s home. There is always something to learn about this game
Deez nuts used to be your mommas home

Bitch Nigga
There's quite a few things I've never known about FO3, FONV and FO4 I've learned from great videos like this that I can't believe I missed.
Cleansing flame does refer to purifying something with fire, but that on itself it's a reference to cleansing a wound with a hot/burning object in order to cauterize the wound to prevent infection. Also, Bloodnap sounds better than Dirtnap for a knife/dagger as you won't be sleeping in the dirt but rather in a pool of your own blood. Stab stab.
It always reminded me of Set from fo1
It would be cool for recompense of the fallen stats to change if it’s used to kill Aurelius
That's a really cool idea actually, I really like the idea of some unique conditions changing the stats of some of these unique guns.
Killing named leaders of Caesars Legion making Recompense stronger is a great example of how that would work.
Headshotting named all named Fiends with la longue carabine could boost the DAM of la longue carabine (tradeoff for not getting full bounties for the related quest)
I think the regular machetes are actually modified lawn mower blades
True. Regular and few of the uniques which are liberator, Boone's version and the one used in the legion's arena (I think this one can't be dropped could be wrong about that tho). I really like its homemade aesthetic.
Agreed, I was about to post this myself but I wanted to scroll and see if someone had mentioned it already. Props for your observation!
Im so glad you went this in depth with all of the weapons, not even just the guns but ALL weapons!
The depth is great but he missed the GABAGOOL! WHERES ALL THE GABAGOOL?! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GABBAGOOL?!
Hands down one of the best FO lore channels on earth you should be proud as hell of these vids bro. We appreciate the hell out of them
This here is a true statement.
All he does is just copy and paste what is written on the Fallout wiki...
@@Shiftysnow if you actually look at the wiki, youd realise you are wrong
theres summerisatiob, paraohrasing, even his OWN theories to the significance or easter egg the weapons appearance or name
cope
Im pretty sure the standard "Machete" is made out of an old lawnmower blade instead of a paper cutter, but yeah, great breakdown. Knock-knock ftw!
yeah thats how you make a shiskebab so it's probably the same
thank you
If you listen closely which none of you did he was referring to the broad machete not the regular one. Great job guys
@@abrahamwashington8579 No, he wasn't. He was talking about the unique Machete "Liberator", which shares a model with the standard machete, and he compared Broad Machete to Standard Machete, in which he said the standard looks like it was made from the blade of a paper cutter. Good job guy.
@@abrahamwashington8579 maybe you should listen closely 🤷♂️
The Gobi Campaign rifle is probably also the one Boone used to kill his wife, given its location.
I assumed he used the gun he always has with him, but that's a really cool thought
@@stinkybuttrathonestly I don’t think he would tote around the gun he used to kill her, he already has a hard enough time talking about it, constantly having a reminder doesn’t sound like him
@@kekils7722maybe he wants to have a reminder around as a way to repent
I keep thinking it's a dumb idea, but then again why would a sniper's nest be this high above Cottonwood Cove? No sign of an NCR ranger who might have been perched there. Now I feel bad about giving it to Boone.
Pushy might be a reference to Fallout 2, which introduced a mechanic to push neutral NPCs out of your way if their random idle pathing managed to stick you in a corner. In the first game you had to either load a previous save or start making dead bodies.
Ill never forget my faithful companion Ian, who trapped me in the vault 13 entrance with dogmeat and Katja locking me from walking into the vault.
He will me missed... Oh my mistake, he will be *mist.*
1:04:37 As far as Thompson-esque weapons in the game we have the honorable mention of the .45 Auto SMG which was in Honest Hearts, _but_ in the base game we have the absolutely-a-Thompson-copy Laser RWC, the Silenced .22 SMG (an AM180 which was styled after the Thompson), and we have the Automatic Rifle which is a BAR _which Clyde used_ and would've been fitting as knock-off Bonnie and Clyde's weapon.
automatic rifle isnt in the base game, its from dead money
I just realized the Nephi's iron is a left handed golf club. I imagine that would be a rare post apocalyptic weapon indeed.
Also, its weird that he is called driver Nephi when he carries an iron instead of a driver.
It is a driver he was wrong
the weapon itself is a gold driver, so wht are you on about?
@@dragonborn4405 The person who uploaded the video refers to it as an iron. I took them at their word instead of verifying it for myself.
@@mikeziter501 i saw that
but thats becayse of weapon classification
aside from this unique there are no other drivers in new vegas, the only alternative is the 9 iron
so the gold driver is a unique 9 iron, simar to how the broad machete is a unique machete
or how the holprifle is a unique grenade launcher
I always thought that Two Step Goodbye was a reference to the 2 step viper. In which that was as far as you were expected to get before you die👀 But nonetheless, great video as always N_orte👍
When i heard the reference, i instantly thought of the 5 finger palm exploding heart technique from kill bill 2. But Bill took 5 steps before his heart exploded from the attack, so it wasn't a reference to that.
No Super Mutant Masters were harmed in the making of this video
The amount of detail and time it takes to make a video like this is insane! Awesome job
...Not really,when you consider that dozens of other youtubers have already done this exact thing,and weirdly enough,presented in the EXACT SAME order as other channels,and all of the stats info is availableto snyone with google...Would have taken about 40 minutes to collect the in-game footage,and about an hour and half to record the audio...But sure :)
@kevinmad0959 I hope you recieve treatment for that brain stroke.
@@jeffdroog God how hard did your dad beat and neglect you for you to come out of your mom's cooch as a redditor?
@@jeffdroogyou are getting a dislike
@874dan4 That's fine.When you can't refute truth,the unintelligent just deny it,and complain lol.
You're wrong about Dinner Bell, with Shotgun Surgeon as a perk it's a great weapon to take advantage of since it probably has the highest effective range for a shotgun other than the single shot one. Some weapons really shine in conjunction with certain perks
The Avenger might also be a reference to the GAU-8 rotary cannon found on the A-10. The GAU-8 is also called the Avenger
Though the caliber doesn't match, it's still a fun thing to consider
Edit: that's not how you say "paciencia" lol
There were several mispronounced words in this video. I'm guessing N_orte is not a native English speaker?
@@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself the thing about "paciencia" is that it's a spanish name, so I don't blame him. And I wasn't mocking him, I just noticed it kind of looks like it
Given the game's habit of naming quests after songs, Two-Step Goodbye could also be a reference to dancing. The Texas Two-Step is a simple partner dance that's well-suited to most of the country-western music in the game.
In the same vein, Little Devil could be named for Neil Sedaka's song by the same name. "There'll be no more running around, you've met your Waterloo, hey little devil, I'm gonna make an angel out of you.:
That's what I always assumed for the 2-Step as well. I've also heard "Texas two-step" as fighter slang for a kind of knockout punch.
The Cleansing Flame makes me think of the Purifying Flame upgrade from Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wraith. It upgrades all flame weapons with a more powerful blue flame. It could be a reference to that?
I remember playing Day Z with a dude back in the day (like 2010 oof) He always called the Shotgun the "Dinner Bell" because you shoot it once and all the zombies in the area come around for a meal. I always assumed it was from something but I never looked into it, especially because the FNV shotgun had the same name. Hopefully that can maybe help your search.
The unique weapon list from Fallout 3 is my favorite of yours. This right here is just icing on the cake. The little footnotes about all the weapons are much appreciated. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into this.
I think the Two-Step is in reference to country two step dance. Being a western-esq game it fits.
*Esque
There is no word in the English language where a q is not immune followed by a u then an a, e, i, or o
@@angusmcnay5449 you must be very fun at parties. Haha I'm taking the piss. Nah I just couldn't remember how to spell it so winged it a wee bit.
Also Obsidian devs called it fittingly since the frag grenade like explosive it causes on crit hit kill.
@@angusmcnay5449Tranq.
The straight razor called "Figaro" does not have metallic grip panels, but pearl. Thus was a common upgrade to the visual esthetics of many different tools and weapons with revolvers being a primary example.
It's great you post this while I'm doing a run I can only use unique weapons and armor and have to find every single unique item
Damn, b-roll of each weapon being found or the parts of the surrounding quest being completed would've made this video the greatest FONV unique weapon video in existence. I get that it would've made the editing and recording process so much more time consuming though lol, so I get it. It's still a great video with a plethora of info!
the use of energy cells and shot gun shells on fist weapons works fine, the game supports it, energy cells will count down and give you the effect of the fired rounds, the only thing that doesn't work about it is you can apply a mini nuke to fists as well. It is a glitch but it works with in the games code flawlessly
also consider the insane amount of shit they had to do in development, and it's pretty easy to see they didn't have the time to implement it properly
Wonderful video, exactly what I’ve been looking for🙏🏼
Big boomer itself isn't a reference but how you get it is. You loot it off of old lady gibson who is named after mel Gibson who famously played max in the mad max movies,and max's signature weapon in the movies is a sawed off shotgun. Hope you enjoyed the fact👍
If I could like it twice I would bro, great video! Second watch and still enjoyed it just as much, Thanks for keeping me entertained at work!
I think Lucky might be a reference to the Lucky 38, since .38 special can be loaded into 357. Great video btw!
It's actually visually identical to Elmer Keith's revolver number 5, as he is a noted western figure and responsible for the 357 and 44 magnum cartridges
@@heavilyarmedhippie75 oh neat
@@heavilyarmedhippie75they look nothing alike apart from both being custom single action army models
@@tristangoss6177 fantastically engraved blued single action army with pearl grips?
@heavilyarmedhippie75 completely different engraving styles, and lucky is covered in gambling motifs.
My understanding was that only the “driver” part of Nephis name came from his weapon, the Driver part from the fact that it’s a golf club
1:14:52 the durability mod is actually bugged and incredibly useful as if at 100% condition with the upgrade it will not loose condition from regular microfusion cells
Honestly there may be multiple of it but i think the Blade of the West shouldve been added into this list! After all, its still a unique variant of the Bumper Sword and a good parallel to BoE weapon
Is it really unique when it's simply an upgraded bumper sword that spawns on Marked Men?
Its not unique
@Boone69 Named Weapon, Spawns on Named Enemy, Unique/Special effect and or Property, Unique Parallel to other Named Sword. It hits most of the necessary parameters, therefore. Unique weapon.
There is actually a death claw gauntlet, however, it can only be acquired through the use of console commands. The death claw gauntlet is notable for having a 5 time critical hit multiplier making it the one of two weapons with said critical hit multiplier with the other being the the rat slayer.
Edit: Made some spelling and grammar corrections.
Man I LOVE these unique weapons videos. Thank you!
Great video. I have now subscribed. Thank you.
Great video, I applaud all the work that went into this! Mild nitpick is there are a bunch of words you mispronounced like "nanometer", "picometer", "paciencia", etc..
extremely well done, I loved the video
Love your content and I hate to be “that guy” but New vegas does have a Tommy gun, it’s the .45 sun machine gun from Honest Hearts.
Fun fact about Ratslayer:
If you have the Wild Wasteland perk the Giant Rats in the cave you get the gun will become Rodents of Unusual Size a funny reference
I love medicine stick! Great iron sights compared to its normal variant
nice video, i love the new vegas uniques, i have a suggestion for a video idea, can you make a lore video explaining how bad pre-war america was? robots taking over jobs, food shortages, nationalism and propaganda etc.., i think it honestly would be nice to see a video talking specifically about the state the country was in pre-war and how it would be like for a normal citizen to live in such a place.
honestly it wasn't far off from where we are now lmao.
@@GribbleGob Hence why we need a lore video since people really need to put things in perspective. We don't have shortages and rationing and mass labour protests. We have a senile man and a government stacked with people who hate us, which is almost normal.
50:08 For the name of Li'l Devil, I'd guess it comes from the iron sights on the top, resembling little horns.
I love every time you try to not repeat "he/she dead" xD Great work overall, I like to listen to your Fallout summaries
Great video ,getting back into this game for the 15th time but in 60fps ! Runs great on the new xbox ,cheers boys.
Fantastic effort here
Its crazy because i first watched night of the hunter back in middle school, loved the movie, and then forgot the title! Thank you for the refresher so now i can watch it
The story of Randall Clark genuinely made me tear up the first time I really paid attention to it. The writing is done incredibly well, and finding it all out thru terminals throughout Zion was satisfying. The Survivalist Rifle is a cherry on top of a great, incredibly sorrowful story.
"It's kind of a weird effect" describes basically everything in the Big MT
Here's the thing about Fallout. I hate this whole "I want better graphics" type gaming now. The beautiful gritty feel FNV graphics gave us was the best. Example of FNV deathclaws vs F4 deathclaws. FNV deathclaws gave me jumpscares. F4 Deathclaws looked too polished. It would be nice to have a Fallout New Vegas 2 with the option of old and new graphics. This game can't be beat imo. Great video btw
People have been saying this well before New Vegas came out, let alone today. They were even arguing the same thing comparing Fallout 3 to the original games claiming that the graphics had too much focus put on them. Graphical fidelity isn't mutually exclusive with other qualities found in a game. Especially with AAA games considering larger budgets and huge dev teams. Don't forget that these games were considered good looking at one point. Off the top of my head the Battlefield games are another one that people used to say they focused too much on the graphics. That was back when we thought games couldn't look much better than BF4; it was new and so took a lot of player focus. Today you can easily tell it came out in 2013 as it doesn't look as good as we all thought and is pretty easy to run on a modern PC. It's the gameplay that players have stuck around for and it's unhindered by all those who wanted the cutting edge in graphics back in 2013.
For some reason people act like AAA dev teams don't have specialized workers organized into departments and are instead this equally skilled monolithic group that can only work on one thing at a time. It doesn't help that so many AAA games today release in a poor state but still usually look good. It has a lot more to do with the business side of things and stuff like micro transactions than it does resource management. That really only comes into play with indie games, or at least it should.
I think sleeytime is in reference to the perk mister sandman, which refers to mister sandman (not the perk) that sprinkles sand into your eyes to make you fall asleep.
The “Two-step” in 2step goodbye is probably a reference to line dancing. The two-step is a dance.
Good video, not a robotic explantion of what we know already, find fresh fun things too
The fist of the North Star being referenced is awsome two of my favorite things essentially shook hands
Nice that you show video.
39:00 Or maybe the Red Ryder BB gun is a reference to the actual Red Ryder Carbine BB gun, since the Red Ryder BB gun came out almost 50years before A Christmas Story was released. And because basically every kid from the 1940s to 2000s will never forget seeing that long thin box in wrapping paper under the Christmas tree.
As a kid most of my best friends were girls and they also got a Red Ryder, no doll houses for those badass little girls, 20+ years later most of them are either Soldiers or Marines now and still my closest friends.
There's a reason why A Christmas Story used the Red Ryder, I don't know anyone who didn't get a Red Ryder BB gun and yes, everyone who had a Red Ryder at least once got hit with a ricocheting BB, usually to the face or neck but the Red Ryder shot BB's at a very low velocity so it wasn't dangerous is just stung. Hell, we used run around the woods playing war shooting each other but we always wore safety glasses.
Its awesome that almost every unique weapon has a story to tell
This was more interesting to watch and take notes on, than my attempt at playing a new Fallout 4 run!
Hey Norte have you ever tried steath killing just the Alien captain. If you havent your next playthrough try it. Just remember it has to be a Stealth kill of the captain only.
I like to think the Medecine Stick is also an euphemism for "permanently anesthetizing a patient"
You can use the ammo glitch on melee weapons so you can equip mini nuke ammo and do one shot punches
Actually the machetes in nv are not paper cutters but lawnmower blades
I could watch these kinda of videos repeatedly and idk why lol
N_orte, you are aware that the 45 auto submachine gun is the tommy gun right? They basically just had to re-work the laser rcw and the 45 sub into the tommy
On the point of the "Big Boomer", in the US the National Firearms Act of 1934 considers all firearms under 16 inches a pistol. If the "Big Boomer" is under 16 inches it would therefore be a pistol. As well, the word "Boomer" might be related to "boom stick" which is common slang for a shotgun, particularly a side-by-side double barrel.
Also, a quick side note, the 357 in 357 Magnum is always pronounced "three fifty-seven" when referring to the bullet caliber. Really good video, really enjoyed it.
Fun fact, no it doesn't. Little known and admittedly sort of useless knowledge the 16" length wasn't done until the 1968 GCA, the NFA uses an 18" requirement on both shotguns and rifles. The 16" came about after the US Govt surplussed a bunch of M1 Carbines which, by either sheer happenstance or a giga-chad at Winchester, have a barrel length of 17-3/4".
The US Govt just sold thousands of NFA items like they were normal rifles, and to save face and not attempt to mass arrest a bunch of people they amended the definition of rifle include a 16" barrel when the GCA was passed. Why 16"? Because after 1934 and prior to 1968 a lot of .22 rifles were granted a sort of 'sporting exception' and allowed to have 16" barrels but not qualify as SBRs.
Does that really matter? Not really, because the GCA still says 16" so it's 16", but it does help if you needed any more reason to think the government is run by idiots who cant even tyranny properly.
So bear thing about the Gobi campaign sniper is that it is most likely the gun Boone used to kill his wife. It's found in a snipers nest above the slave trader in cottonwood cove where Boone says he shot his wife.
not really the confirmed place, just circumstancial evidence from the geography and boone's line about "...been here before", but i see where you're getting at
I'm pretty sure that the big boomer is a reference to mad max as old lady Gibson shares the same name as Mel Gibson and in the mad max movies max carries a "boomstick" or sawed off shotgun (great vid btw)
The holy hand grenade is also a reference to a fallout2 random encounter where some people are looking for it
I’ve always thought of the Humble Cudgel as a nod to Dead Island. One of the legendary Cudgels is known as the Humble Cudgel. The Cudgels in Dead Island aren’t pipes however
Might be the other way around, New Vegas came out before Dead Island if I remember correctly.
@@bryanthomas1382 Might be unrelated then, because legendaries in Dead Island aren’t as special as unique variants in Fallout
Abilene kid's BB gun (on wild wastelander trait) can be found inside a well, similar to John's BB gun, in fallout 2 - on a quest inside mordoc.
"New Vegas doesn't have any sort of Tommy Gun look-alike" it does tho! just not in the base game, the .45 Auto smg was introduced in Honest Hearts
Makes sense, setting wise. The Tommy was more of an east amd east coast weapon like NY, Chicago, etc. Also used in WWI.
@@jayl5032 the Thompson wasnt available in time for WW1, and instead was used in WW2 until it was deemed too expensive and began to be replaced by the m3, which is technically still in service today but was last confirmed to be used around desert storm
@heavilyarmedhippie75 Was it? Well I'll be damned, I mixed up the two great wars. Thanks for clarifying btw.
What about the laser rcw?
whether intentional or not it's very funny that the last 1/3 of the video is marked as the survivalist's rifle makes it seem like he spent 30 minutes talking about the survivalist lore
Thank you for making this video. I didn't want to have to read through all these on the wiki
Embrace of the Mantis King! came in so clutch in my Unarmed run. I decided not to just look up how to get good unarmed weapons, so I was hurting for damage when I finally saw it in Mick and Ralph's. Came out flat broke but in a much better position in combat.
Its definitely two step goodbye because you take two steps and explode. Like the 5 point palm exploding heart technique
I always thought the “Humble Cudgel” was an homage to the Humble Bundle store, but maybe the dates don’t quite line up? Both FNV and the first bundle launched in late 2010, but FNV was apparently first…
1:04:34 yeah, the Tommy gun only came in the DLC "honest hearts"
But they could've used the Laser RCW, as it's just a Thompson with laser ammunition
I would like to see you do a playthrough series.. have you ever considered it?
Esther is named like that because of military tradition. Like the landmine that bounces up "Bouncing Betty".
love these super long form videos they are amazing
radio raheem doesnt have on brass knuckles in do the right thing, its a 4 finger ring
Me and my brother have been re playing this game since it first came OUT ❤ WE HAD THE COMIC BOOK AND CARAVAN Cards and i will never stop playing this game
I think you missed Elijah's advanced LAER. Unless its not a unique
There’s at least two that I know of in the Old World Blues DLC… though I would consider it in the same class despite it being considered “rare” like the Ranger Sequoia, Red Glare, Shoulder Mounted LMG, Arc Welder, H&H Tools Nail Gun, Bowie Knife, etc.
@@TheGlaabFatherit’s been awhile since I played lonesome road, but is there more than one red glare?
@@pencil6193 ye… you can buy at least more than one from the automated vendors that ED-E unlocks
Edit: I was thinking of the Mods for it being possible to buy more than once. The Red Glare has three spawn locations in total
@@TheGlaabFather I had no idea actually, thanks
I think there are only two, so almost unique.
the 1 weapon you didnt cover is the "Ranger Seqioua" you can only get it if Chief hamlin kills himself and has a higher DPS and lower spread than the standard 45 mag plus if you are playing as an NCR ranger it looks amazing
You can get blade of the east when you first encounter Legions in the town they took over. I believe you have to pickpocket a legion member to get it.
1:04:03 The Divergence also explains why Vikki and a Vance might have an M3
my only idea for the big boomer would be that it’s a reference to the boom stick from evil dead but it’s a bit of a stretch
I think greased lightning and two step goodbye are actually names of popular dance moves from around the 50’s
I personally think that Two step goodbye is called what its called cause of how the weapon works. You punch someone and by punching them, the barrel (pressumably shotgun) shoots. Basically two step goodbye.
I have been playing since day 1 on pc and since 2013 on Xbox.
I've only been ALLOWED access to KNOCK-KNOCK ONCE!
Recompense of the fallen also seems to be a bit of a joke at the expense of the dead. You find it in a legion headquarters tossed into a desk. It seems like the legion mocking the NCR
More amazed you had all these ways to explain if the vendor dies than you scripting the whole thing, laughed to hard at the smiley face
